Chapter 30: The Difficult "Beginning of the Adventure"
Looking at the dilapidated village in front of him, more than one traverser grew his mouth, showing a look of surprise and disappointment.
"The village of Kalipura is dilapidated enough, and there are even more dilapidated ......," Eldest Sun Wu muttered to himself, "Could it be that this is a worse world?"
As they could see, the village outside the forest of Misellele was even more dilapidated than the village of Kalipura.
In other words, although the village of Kalipura is a small border village, so remote that rabbits don't poop, it is actually not dilapidated. There are properties, and the lord's excesses and miscellaneous taxes are limited to transportation reasons, so there is no way to scrape the land repeatedly, so it can be relatively stable.
"Not every village is bad, when we came out of the forest, we came to the village of Firuman, which is in much better condition than the village of Kalipura. Panda said.
"The village of Firuman is the best place to venture into the forest of Sille, so adventurers often come to stay. A member of the strategy team said, "Its prosperity is actually supported by adventurers." ”
It dawned on the panda – no wonder the accommodation at Firuman Village was so good!
Adventurers usually lick the blood with knives and live a precarious life. It is very likely that today you will be happy and tomorrow you will die in some corner that no one knows. Therefore, except for a very few of them with strong self-control, the others belong to the prodigal character of "there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, and it cares about tomorrow's worries and sorrows". A hostel with comfortable accommodation will naturally make it easier to make money out of their pockets.
This is not the case in the village of Tatak, which is also close to the forest of Misel, but the river that flows into the forest has so many tributaries that it cannot be used as a guidepost. Adventurers certainly don't choose this place as a base for their adventures into the forest, so it's in poor condition - or rather, it's really representative of the ordinary village.
To put it in fashionable terms, such a small village is the real place to be the "beginning of an adventure".
As for the villages of Kalipura or Firumman, they should be placed a little later.
A dozen odd-eyed adventurers came to visit, leaving the owner of the inn in the village, the head of Tatak, a little dazed. He never imagined that there would be so many adventurers coming, but he still crossed the forest of Miselle and walked out of the forest.
And...... The appearance of these adventurers is really ...... It's so weird!
This group of "troublemakers" didn't care about race at all, and there were all kinds of strange people in the team. Among the nineteen people, there are more than ten who are inhuman, and the real human beings are in the minority.
With such a group of people pouring into Tatak Village, how could the village chief not be worried?
Wang Tuhao is a self-familiar character, and he came to the village chief very simply and sprinkled a handful of tinkling - copper coins.
"How many rooms do you have in this hotel? If I don't have enough money, I've got a lot of money here!"
The village chief was silent for a while, and then replied, "We have a total of four rooms here......
Wang Tuhao's face suddenly became ugly, and he looked back, the fourteen people brought by the panda - including the panda himself, plus the five people led by his Wang people, this is a total of nineteen people, just four rooms?
Seeing that he was about to explode, Yunero hurriedly dragged him away, nodded to the middle-aged man who didn't know whether to call the village chief or the boss, and led the way to the back room.
Yes, the rooms at the back. This hotel in Tatak village doesn't even have a second floor.
In general, a hostel should have at least two floors. The downstairs can be used as a restaurant or tavern, and the upstairs is a guest, and the two businesses can be done together without delay. You can even set aside a block downstairs and run a grocery store – as is the case with the Kalipura Village Hotel.
But the hotel in Tatak village is really just a hotel.
In addition to the small service desk at the door, there are four rather large rooms in the back. The room was empty, except for piles of hay - and that was the bed. There are a few wooden strips on the wall, which can probably be used as hangers. In the center of each room there was a rather large fire pit, and there was a lot of wood piled up next to it, apparently for the purpose of making a fire at night for heating.
When the village chief took everyone to see the house, he also babbled: "If you want to make a fire at night, you need to buy firewood." The firewood here is not mine, it belongs to the forest keeper, and if you want to use it, you must give him money. ”
Wang Tuhao was about to have a seizure, but Yunero dragged him back.
"How much?" asked Panda.
The village chief stretched out a hand and spread out five fingers: "Six coppers per day in each room." ”
Panda looked at his hand suspiciously, couldn't help but count carefully, made sure that this guy really didn't have a sixth finger, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you didn't count wrong?"
"No, I've always counted that. The village chief began to wrench his fingers as he spoke, "One, two, three, five, six...... That's right!"
The panda rolled his eyes, he didn't bother to tell the illiterate guy what one, two, three, four, five was, sighed, and took out three silver coins: "Do you have anything to eat here?
The village chief did not answer immediately, and raised his fingers again.
The panda struggled to resist the thought of bringing the guy down with a punch, and waited patiently for him to settle the score. However, I don't know if it's because I've never done such a big business, the village chief calculated for a long time, but he couldn't make this simple addition and subtraction.
He kept wrenching his fingers, but it was clear that the two hands combined were only ten fingers, a long way from three silver coins, or thirty copper coins.
Seeing that he seemed to have the intention of taking off his shoes and counting his toes, Long Biao couldn't help it, grabbed him by the collar, picked him up, and threw him out directly.
"Don't forget it! Serve some good wine and food! You dragon master, I'm hungry!"
This method worked very well, and the village chief immediately stopped the meaningless calculations and hurried out.
After a while, he and his wife, a thin, dark woman who looked like dried smoked chicken, came with a large pot of soup, followed by their daughter, who was quite young, but not very far from the smoked chicken, and carried in both hands a large bamboo basket with semicircular pieces of black bread.
Well, it's bread presumably.
When the soup and bread were placed on a wooden board in the "guest room" that might serve as a dining table, Long Biao impatiently reached out and grabbed a piece of bread, and before he could finish his mouth, his face changed.
"Why is it so hard?" he asked.
The boss looked at him dumbfoundedly, probably not expecting him to ask such a question, and he didn't know how to answer.
"In the Middle Ages, black bread had to be broken one by one and soaked in the soup until it was soft before it could be eaten. Changsun Wu, who knows a lot about the European Middle Ages, said, "You can try it." ”
Long Biao pondered for a long time, but still tried to break a piece of bread - it could be seen that he really used some strength, and then put the broken piece into the soup, waited a few seconds, and then took it out and put it in his mouth.
Bite.
Then, spit out.
"Phew! I'd rather go hungry than eat anything like this!" he cried out angrily, "don't you have decent food!"
The boss is dazed, the boss lady is innocent, and the boss's daughter is trembling.
Looking at this scene, the traversers all felt black in front of their eyes and cold in their hearts, and many people muttered secretly - is it a wrong choice for us to follow the panda out to make trouble this time?
